Aug 2015

a genetic disorder. I will be making a donation to Children's Tumor Foundation in his honor. NF has no cure at this time. I hope it had nothing to do with his passing. NF has already claimed too many friends of mine.

Pinto once told me that it was NF that gave him his screen name. One of clues a person might have NF is the amount (6 or more) of cafe-au-lait spots a person has on their body. I am guess he had several that were east to see.

Prayers for his family and friends.
